Both objects have a difference in thermal mass.

Both objects have a difference in kinetic energy.

Both objects have a difference in temperature.

Heat is being transferred from the cold object to the hot object.

Thermal energy is being transferred from the cold object to the warm object.

Thermal energy is being transferred from the hot object to the warm object.

Thermal energy is being transferred from the hot object to the cold object.

Heat flows slowly from one object to the other. Equilibrium has been reached.

Heat flows from the warm object to the hot object. Equilibrium has been reached.

Heat is quickly flowing from one object to the other. Equilibrium has been reached.

Heat has stopped flowing between the objects. Equilibrium has been reached.
